New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 5:16-21

16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand 1the judgment arose from one transgression 2resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions 3resulting in justification. 17For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned 4through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will 5reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18So then as through 6one transgression 7there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one 8act of righteousness 9there resulted 10justification of life to all men. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience 11the many 12were made sinners, even so through 13the obedience of the One 14the many will be made righteous. 20 15 16The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, 17grace abounded all the more, 21so that, as 18sin reigned in death, even so 19grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
